Биография и Путь Автора

Andrew McAfee’s path began in Indiana, where, by his own account, he was a bookish, math-camp-going child captivated by the first personal computers. MIT became the central setting of his education: he arrived in 1984, earned two bachelor’s and two master’s degrees, worked briefly, then left for Harvard Business School, where he completed a doctorate in business administration and spent about a decade on the faculty. His return to MIT in 2009 became the pivotal turn of his career, anchoring him as a principal research scientist and co-founder of the Initiative on the Digital Economy.
